Chassis 310 Right Weigh Load Scales OK! Not OK! Step 2: Dump the air from the suspension system. Step 3: Locate and remove the suspension air line fitting from the top of one of the air bags connected to the height control valve. (Fig. 1) Step 4: Insert a street tee fitting into the top of the air bag. The street tee fitting should match the thread size and type of the vehicle suspension. Step 5: Reattach the suspension air line fitting into the top of the street tee. (Fig. 2) Fig. 1 Fig. 2 Air Bag Air Bag 4

5 Installation Instructions (cont.): Step 6: Run a new 1/4 air line from the street tee fitting to the mounting location of the Right Weigh digital gauge. (Fig. 3) Fig. 3 (New 1/4 air line) Air Bag Height Control Valve Step 7: Air-up the suspension system and check all fitting connections for air leaks. Step 8: Connect the red power and black ground wires to a power and ground source that provides a consistent voltage between 9 V DC and 32 V DC. Note: The Right Weigh digital gauge has an internal fuse. An external fuse is not needed. 5

6 4.0 Calibration Instructions: 1) Enter Empty Weight Step 1: Using a certified in-ground scale, obtain an EMPTY weight for the axle group attached to the Right Weigh digital gauge. Step 2: While the vehicle is still empty, park on a level surface, shift the transmission to neutral, and set the parking brakes. Step 3: Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement, then release the parking and service brakes. Step 4: Make sure the Height Control Valve (HCV) has fully inflated the air bags. If needed, briefly dump the air from the suspension and allow the HCV to refill the system. (This may take several minutes depending on the type of HCV.) Step 5: Press and hold the appear. 2 C LOW button for 3 seconds until the words CAL LOW 3 4 Step 6: Using the arrow bottons, adjust the Right Weigh digital gauge until it matches the certified EMPTY weight from the in-ground scale. Step 7: Press and hold the disappear. 2 C LOW button for 3 seconds until the words CAL LOW 6

7 Calibration Instructions (cont.): 2) Enter Loaded Weight Step 1: Using a certified in-ground scale, obtain a LOADED weight for the axle group attached to the Right Weigh digital gauge. For best results, weigh a load that is near the legal weight limit for the axle group. Step 2: While the vehicle is still loaded with the same load, park on a level surface, shift the transmission to neutral, and set the parking brakes. Step 3: Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement, then release the parking and service brakes. Step 4: Make sure the Height Control Valve (HCV) has fully inflated the air bags. If needed, briefly dump the air from the suspension and allow the HCV to refill the system. (This may take several minutes depending on the type of HCV.) Step 5: Press and hold the appear CHIGH button for 3 seconds until the words CAL HI Step 6: Using the arrow bottons, adjust the Right Weigh digital gauge until it matches the certified LOADED weight. C HIGH 1 Step 7: Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the words CAL HI disappear. The Right Weigh digital gauge is now calibrated and ready to use. 7

8 5.0 Operating Instructions: Step 1: Park on a level surface, shift the transmission to neutral, and set the parking brakes. Step 2: Chock the wheels to prevent unexpected vehicle movement. Step 3: Release the parking and service brakes. Step 4: Make sure the Height Control Valve (HCV) has fully inflated the air bags to the factory ride height. If needed, briefly dump the air from the suspension and allow the HCV to refill the system. (This may take several minutes depending on the type of HCV.) Step 5: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the Right Weigh digital gauge on. Step 6: Adjust the trailer suspension or the load itself until the Right Weigh digital gauge displays a weight value below your legal limit. Step 7: Press the ON/OFF button to turn the Right Weigh digital gauge off. Note: The gauge will turn itself off after 30 minutes. Note: To change the display units from LBS to KG, press the blue information button, and follow the instructions. MENU i ENTER 8

9 6.0 Troubleshooting: Erratic or inaccurate readings could result from the following: The vehicle is NOT parked on a level surface; parking on a sloped or banked surface will cause the vehicle weight distribution to shift between the axle groups. The vehicle s brakes are on; when the vehicle s brakes are set, they could potentially apply additional pressure or torque on the suspension air bags. The vehicle is parked on an uneven or rough surface; if one or more of the vehicle s wheels is offset from the others, this could result in additional pressure or torque on the suspension air bags. The Height Control Valve (HCV) is malfunctioning and/or broken; to test for a problem with the HCV, follow steps 1 through 5 of the operating instructions (the trailer should be loaded). Write down the weight reading from the gauge. Drive the vehicle around the block and return to the same location. Follow steps 1 through5 of the operating instructions again to get a second reading for the same load. If the two readings are significantly different then the HCV might be malfunctioning and/or broken. 9
